Open Court will be doing double duty this week, with stories in the Toronto Star for the next few days.
Here are a couple of pieces from Sunday’s paper.
1)Denis Shapovalov is home, for the first time since the pandemic began. But if you’re bubbled in a hotel instead of eating home cooking at your parent’s house, are you really home?
2) Bianca Andreescu, who surprisingly finds herself as the No. 2 seed at the Omnium Banque National with her No. 5 world ranking, she looked lighter, happier during her Zoom conference Saturday in Montreal.
She could face countrywoman Leylah Fernandez in the second round.
She finally confirmed our scoop from about 10 days ago, as she has begun working with noted coach Sven Groeneveld.
This will be their first tournament as a team.
And if you missed it Saturday, here’s a primer on how different the Montreal and Toronto tournaments will look this year from a fan experience perspective – and how many hoops Tennis Canada had to jump through to make it happen.
